For over three decades, {>}Katy Moffatt has delivered powerful, adventurous tunes, influenced by the various music of the western states. Her albums on Rounder, Philo, Shanachie and others show amazing style and content, and include songwriting with Wendy Waldman, Tom Russell and others. It's her live shows that are truly special. With just Katy and a guitar, the stage is filled with a fiery blaze of music. Whether singing her own tunes, or traditional music, or covers from an amazing range of songwriters, she's worth hearing.

Here's what others say about Katy Moffatt:
"Katy Moffatt is indeed a storyteller. Her voice has many shades of meaning as well as memory...her passion is the abiding force in her music..."
       -Nat Hentoff, Wall Street Journal

"Anyone unaffected should check their pulse."
     -Fred Dellar, Mojo

"In the early days of the Old West, cowboying was dominantly a male profession. Before the word cowgirl came into common usage, a female top hand was known as a cowboy-girl. Katy Moffatt fits this description very well thank you very much. Katy has always been a great singer and songwriter as well a darn good player, but I've got to admit she's sure earned her title and put her own personal brand on these great songs."
        -Don Edwards
